Akeem the African Dream Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Snap maps is a great feature to use to see what's happening on the islands in real time. good video from when saint marten was in the eye surprised at the amount of leaves still left on trees for a category 5 storm and based on the wind obs from Barbuda. The limited pictures I saw from some residential areas looked tons better than Rockwell Texas last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackGrad05 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 With the models seeming to trend more east with each run, what is the synoptic mechanism that can still recurve this out to sea? Is it another trough or deeper trough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'm personally not buying the big shift East overnight. Yesterday I thought the models over corrected South and West and now I think we're seeing the opposite. If you eliminate the noise, a consensus track brings the eye onshore very close to Miami, and my reasoning hasn't changed over the past several days. Irma should cross the far Southeastern tip of Florida and then ride Northward with a secondary landfall in the Carolinas. I'm also not ready to completely wave the all clear for NYC and New England.

Expand Strangely enough I've seen a few posts on twitter that systems won't ever come ashore into Florida from the south. They'll try very hard to either go west or go east. If they go east the tendency is then usually for them to miss or stay just offshore unless some sort of synoptic setup forces them in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz sawing a few small islands isn't going to impact an organized TS let alone a fully developed CAT 5. These islands aren't exceptionally mountainous. The pressure could have slightly come up, however it looks like recon missed the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
